Part of the reason I hate the internet is how much time I spend arguing with strangers.

I'm going to assume Fizzbee, just because TLC has always been slow.

I'd be interested in seeing if Fizzbee is competitive with Apalache though.

I wish! It seems like when I have printer problems, it's almost always some weird driver issue, like a driver update comes along that's mostly compatible. I will say that I do have a 15 year old HP office printer that has been fine, if for no other reason it can use the generic postscript driver.

Congrats. I lost a fair amount of weight in the last two years and now I have to actively fight not to gain in back.

Ok now I know you’re lying. No one knows how printers work.

go be fair, iPhone has Pokémon Go and apps that fart.

Sample size of one, but I drink more Diet Coke than anyone I know, around a gallon a day for almost twenty years, and thus far I haven’t gotten cancer.

I find it funny that people would try warning me about aspartame, *while drinking their beer*. Alcohol is a known carcinogen!

iPhones released around the time that the DS was mainstream had headphone jacks, go be fair.

I mean, not entirely sure how you're applying "data" to this? This really isn't a data science issue, I'm not running a ANOVA on pardon history.

"Nuance" is a word that people like to throw around a lot, like it actually means something. I can apply nuance to pretty much anything.

I guess, I just never really got into twitter, so when all the posts are comparing Bluesky to twitter it just kind of goes over my head.
December 2, 2024 at 4:58 PM
I guess agree to disagree; I think pardoning family members is clearly not what the pardon rule was intended for.
December 2, 2024 at 4:49 PM
…because I think it’s hypocritical to point out Trumps abuse of power and not Bidens?
December 2, 2024 at 4:30 PM
No, you’re actually not going by my “words”, you’re going by an assumption that I am some Fox News moron trying to justify Trumps actions, which I am not.
December 2, 2024 at 4:26 PM
I feel like you’re trying to paint me as some MAGA idiot.

I hate Trump, he’s a stupid idiot, I just don’t think Biden pardoning his own son is good. I am sorry I don’t fit into the simplified mold that you’ve trained yourself for.
December 2, 2024 at 4:25 PM
I feel like you’re assuming a lot about me. I think Trump is a big stupid idiot. I am sad he won the election.

I am not sure how my arguments are “disingenuous”, since I do genuinely believe them. You’re obviously free to think they’re dumb though.
December 2, 2024 at 4:18 PM
I didn’t bring up J6ers so I do not know where that came from.

Biden campaigned on the fact that he wouldn’t pardon Hunter.
December 2, 2024 at 4:04 PM
I don’t really see how I’m “wrong”. I think it’s an abuse of power to pardon family members. I think pointing out that Trump being worse is somehow justification is dumb.

Those are just opinions, how am I “wrong”?
December 2, 2024 at 2:14 PM
Isn’t this just a “whataboutism”? Yeah Trump did worse shit, but that pays no bearing on whether Biden did something wrong.

“Yeah I killed that guy Judge, but look how many people Ted Bundy killed!!!”
December 2, 2024 at 6:39 AM
Ugh. I hate the MAGA idiots but can we stop the outright rallying calls for eugenics?
December 2, 2024 at 6:25 AM
Yeah, no, it’s an abuse of power. If Trump pardoned his dipshit kids he would claim it’s about stopping a witch-hunt and we would (correctly) point it out.
December 2, 2024 at 6:21 AM
I like to read on the train on my way to and from work. It’s something I have to do anyway and so it doesn’t require me to carve out extra time.

Audiobooks are good if you drive to work.

Hear me out: NixOS.

What I said is objectively correct. Most things in history are depressing. The Brit’s have a whole museum in London showing off all the stuff they stole, for example, and downplaying the negative effects of colonialism.

Again, not saying it’s right. Most people secularize thanksgiving.
December 2, 2024 at 5:57 AM
I did no such thing. You said you were confused. I explained the “how” of it. I didn’t say it was right.

I didn’t “deny” or “erase” it, and I don’t dispute any of atrocities committed against the indigenous Americans, past or present.
December 2, 2024 at 5:51 AM
Yeah, no, this is dumb and hypocritical. I think Trump is a big dumb moron, but Biden pardoning his own son sets a very bad precedent.

If the orange idiot pardoned his stupid kids, we would (correctly) say that this is bullshit.
